A wee bit of drama with the Rival bull bar, I was sent the later model option, which clearly doesn't fit. Foiled my plans to have this looking sharp for last Xmas.

Stage 1 complete, correct bull bar fitted, I Raptor coated it (Colour matched), ready for the beach..
At this stage, I had a wheel alignment done, but still rubbing on cab mounts, and will nee a bit done before I can get it certified (welcome to NZ), Flares, speedo adjust, brakes ect. Pretty much left it like this for next 6-8 months.
EVC-X throttle controller and V-LINE Bluetooth fitted on the inside.

Does this rig have KDSS?
If so what are the specs on the wheels to clear such a wide tire?
